Distant dreamer - Duffy

Although you think I cope
My head is filled with hope of some place other than here
Although you think I smile
Inside and all the while I'm wondering about my destiny

I'm thinking about all the things
I'd like to do in my life
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today

Even when you see me frown my heart won't let me down
Because I know there's better things to come, woah yeah
And when life gets tough and I feel I've had enough
I hold on to a distant star

I'm thinking about, all the things
I'd like to do in my life
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today

I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
Yeah, I'm a dreamer

I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
Yeah, I'm a dreamer
I'm a dreamer

a person's pupils can dilate for 2 reasons:

love

and

fear

I've just finished reading Neil Gaiman's 'The Doll's house' (volume 2 of the Sandman series). hee.
I find it more disturbing than the first book :\
And more intricately weaved together.
There were a few layers of plots going on concurrently in this story. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books to find out what's going to happen! and to find some answers to questions I have upon reading this volume.
I find the serial killers' convention especially disturbing O.o

i thought to myself.
will i be able to counsel a rape victim?
and i realized that
i have the basic skills
i have the specialized knowledge in griefing and in basic traumatic reactions.
i can possibly hold the client in the counselling session.
so what am i scared of?
more of the implementation of the therapy i guess :\
i need sharpening of my skills!

there's a part in me that's haunted by the image of the night forest in Avatar.
someday His created will run free in His creation. and He will be with them, tangibly, face to face.
i wonder if Jesus felt severely homesick when He came down on earth...
some music from the movie :)

who in the world decided that black and blue are formal colours?
why can't brown or maroon be used on official documents?
why does the world value the business world?
i like the informal.
i enjoy the in-between warm colours.
and i love the social service sector :)

Have finished 'Flight vol.1' and 'Auralia's colours' :)
Still reading 'Drawing Near'.
i have too many things in my room!

it's interesting how my body has two time clocks.
the wake up at 7+ am time clock (a.k.a work schedule clock), and the wake up at 12pm (a.k.a holiday clock). hahaha.

good morning world! :D

and she asked me.
and i have no answer to give.

:(

oh wells.

---------------

God made males and females differently :)
society socialized males and females differently too :)
hahaa.
and the difference was seen today when we all interacted with Jan's nephew. LOL.
it's interesting :)
i'm glad He made us different though :)

OOOO
i can't wait for the mass dance!! :D

Watching Kimi ni todoke episode 12.
it's quite scary how some females can be so manipulative O.O
my goodness.

i've finished Preludes and Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman :D
i like the story and the lines. cleverly written.
hahaaa
but the back part really quite r-rated >_< very violent and disturbing graphics (cannot read this book after heavy counselling. LOL. it's like having final destination 2 compressed within a few pages :\)
moving on to Flight vol.1 ...

it's gonna be my first time singing in a choir! hahaha
i'm so excited!
amusingly, i'm singing in the tenor section. LOL.

black and gold.
a class of its own.

Smoke without fire by Duffy from the 'An Education' soundtrack!

Another song from Duffy!

i know i'm slow
but oh man
i love the voice of Duffy
hahaha!

---------------
and i really wish people will stop asking me why work starts so early -.-
work starts early 'cos sch doesn't just open when sch reopens for students :P
teachers and allied educators need to PLAN and PREPARE for the YEAR AHEAD.
and pack up rooms.
=.=

...
and we were surprised to hear that he knows about her situation.
and upon enquiry, realized that he called her upon realizing that her msg looked odd, even when she said she was okay.
and she shared about her situation.

'he knows how i'm like', says she.

and even though they're of different genders, it was out of pure friendship love and concern that he called. nothing more. nothing less.

and i thought to myself
'ah. that is friendship.
that one knows another.'
...

so she boiled some hot water,
determined to melt the frozen heart that's hanging by the window sill.
and she poured water over it
once
twice
three times
and saw that the ice around the heart has melted
and carefully
she took down the now warm
and slightly pulsing heart
and put it by the fireplace
determined to keep it warm.
then she thought of a better idea
walking across the road
she knocked on her Neighbour's door
and asked if she could hang her heart
next to the neighbour's.
that her heart would forever be warm and toasty
next to the heart of a fellow friend.

...

朋友之间的默契
不需要一点言语
你会知道我
我会明白你
是最值得珍惜

and i took out my heart
and hung it by the window
and watch it freeze
as winter sets in

and i sit by the window sill
and continue to wait for spring

and

realized that spring is everywhere
except for at the spot
by my window sill.
